It has been said that golf imitates life. The emotions, the highs and lows, and all the struggles that accompanies a round of golf often become the metaphors for life. An avid golfer and preacher, Michael takes these two passions of his life and combines them in this Golfer's Guide to Christianity. Come walk the course of life and navigate the issues of the Christian faith with the same care and diligence that you use to make your way around the golf course.

Two critical moments occur in the life of a disciple, moments that hearken us to Christ and faithfulness to His commands. The two I speak of are these: the call to follow Jesus and the call to go into all the world. These two critical moments occur in the Gospel of Matthew at the beginning of the Lord's ministry with His disciples and at the end of His time with them on earth. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 Like bookends, these two commands of our Lord Jesus bracket in the believer's life and are the quintessential expression of the Christian faith: to follow Jesus and obey His call. A life that is called to follow Christ is ever to be a life that is also sent out by Christ. And a life cannot ever be sent out by Christ who is not also a life that follows Christ.

Laguna Art Museum is proud to organize the first comprehensive exhibition of the work of a key figure in twentieth-century California art, Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999). Featuring approximately sixty to seventy paintings, it will survey Lundeberg's career systematically, beginning with her landmark Post-Surrealist paintings of the 1930s. With her teacher and later husband Lorser Feitelson, she organized the Post-Surrealist group, the first of its kind in the United States, and wrote its manifesto. Though exploring psychology and personal expression, the Post-Surrealists aimed to bring a greater sense of order and control to European Surrealism and originally styled themselves New Classicists. By the late 1950s Lundeberg was working on a larger scale. She simplified her style into broad, flat areas of color and, though never a pure abstractionist, played a key part in the "hard-edge" tendency in mid-century painting. Bringing de Chirico-like ambiguities of space to architectural and landscape compositions, she preserved the enigmatic mood of her earlier, surrealistic imagery.

"This volume brings to light collages, collage books, word poems, and altered comic strips that have been largely inaccessible or unavailable since their making. Originally published in small editions and hard-to-find journals, or made as singular artist's books, these works demonstrate the full range of Jess's extraordinary verbal and visual play."--Jacket flap.
